Whitney Houston may have blamed her bad “Good Morning America” performances on gabbing with Oprah Winfrey until the wee hours, but according to the daytime talkshow hostess, their time together has resulted in history!

“I think it’s the best interview I’ve ever done,” Oprah told Access Hollywood. “I guess you’re supposed to let other people say that about yourself, [but] I can’t think of a moment, ever, when I had a stronger connection to the person I was interviewing.”

The segment, which kicks off Oprah’s new season on Sept. 14, reportedly covers everything from Whitney’s career to its subsequent nose-dive during the dark days Ryan likes to call “her Brown period.”

“My approach to this interview was to not be judgmental in any way, and not to go in trying to get her to say things to make a ‘moment.’ I just wanted to be able to have an honest conversation with her. One woman to another,” O added.

And while you might think that nothing would scare Oprah after being front and center in a hyena pit while wearing a meat suit (also known as her Favorite Things episodes), she admits to praying all day that the interview would go well.

Do you think Oprah just prays to herself? I mean, God never gave away free cars, cashmere sweaters or snickerdoodles for life…
